Rafe is an anti-chemistry guy. He just works as a mean boss.

Jada and Shawn is someone I would really really like to see. Especially a baby. Jada would solidify her place on the canvas with a Shawn baby. And then Belle can go and die in a ditch or something. 

I would fully be on board with a Shawn/Jada baby. Jada is actually a solid character and deserves so much better than to languish in a tepid and boring pairing with Rafe. Besides, Shawn and Belle are pretty much played out and they both need to move on from each other.

I think a Sophia baby, a Joy baby, and a Jada baby is a lot of babies in this moment lol.  

I actually wouldn't mind Shawn having another kid or Rafe finally get a first one though.

Lol.  If the babies weren't all different ethnicities, I'd agree.

Well, hopefully Sophia miscarries and Joy isn't really pregnant. The Shawn/Jada baby is the best option.

Today was pretty solid. I agree that Gabi tearing Belle/Paulina a new one was the best part of today, and I'm happy to say that is actually saying something because I was completely invested in Ava seeing the light about Brady, Rachel turning on EJ, and the Shawn/Jada hookup aftermath. And yeah, I'm excited with all the build up for the upcoming 

Spoiler

whodunit.

Bring it on!

Also, I don't think the scripts are so far in advance of the taping - I think it could be a month.  Maybe @JAS0N47 knows this info? 

Yes, I've always considered them about a month or so ahead (in the writing) of what is taping.

Was Ron fired for creative reasons, or was he let go because they couldn't afford to pay him anymore? Presumably his salary would be on the higher side?

Nobody knows.

And don't trust anyone who says they know.  Because the people who actually know the real reason are the producer and the writer. And neither is ever going to admit that he was either too expensive or burnt out.

Thanks, Jason.

We don't know for sure but my speculation is JSR wanted to bring in her own HWs and had to wait until Ron's contract/cycle was up.   JSR has known Jeanne since the eary 90's, and Paula for a couple of decades as well.

So, the Greenes are now using the Allie/Tripp/Wendy apartment set as their home. I guess the changes in it looked nice, except for that big ugly window in the back. Seriously, what is it with soaps and big ugly windows? GH has the same problem. 

But I liked Chad/Cat working together. They were sweet. And despite how cheap it’s probably gonna look lol I’m kinda looking forward to the hospital fundraiser. Hopefully, it ends up being a big event where several storylines reach their climax/turning point. 

Stephanie was a complete dumbass today though. Idk if they were trying to make her look stupid or tone deaf with Joy but it definitely worked and that isn’t a good thing. Having her be dumb just to make Alex look smart is not the way to go. As for Joy, idk. I think there’s potential in her storyline and having it be tied to Alex and the Kiriakis family storyline but I just don’t know. 

Speaking of Alex, he was looking like he was dressed to go disco dancing.

But I did enjoy the Kiriakis family scenes. I still think they’re missing a big opportunity by not having Alex be secretly undermining Philip and Xander and their take over attempt or not having any kind of fall out from Philip/Stephanie/Alex. It would be so nice if that ends up happening at some point. And it would be so messy in such a good way 😂😂

Btw, Sonny definitely should have been a part of that meeting too. It sucks because as much as I want him and Will back in Salem and on the canvas, they’re better off gone as long as Leo is around. 

And Javi/Leo… Skip, even though Javi looked hot. What a boring, unsexy couple. And Leo moving into Rafe’s house? 🤮🤮🤮

Are you trying to say that the show has to pay Ron, long after he's gone, if they edit his material?  If so, I don't think that's accurate.  Once Ron's cycle over and his contract is done, they don't have to pay him anymore, and it doesn't matter if his material is edited or not. 

Also, I don't think the scripts are so far in advance of the taping - I think it could be a month.  Maybe @JAS0N47 knows this info? 

Nope. Strike the word LONG from my post. Yes, once Ron is gone he's gone. No more pay.

At the same time, I don't believe that the new writers are editing Ron's stories 33 days before their material airs. 

And, Days is now recording 10 months ahead. 

Paul Telfer and Eric Martsoff said (in January) that the new writers followed Ron's outlines for months and only in the fall shows were they finally getting ideas purely from the new team. So we can expect Ron's dumb stories but with better dialogue and characterizations until at least October.

Completely disagree! I love Leo & Javi! The actors obviously love working together. They have chem.

Well tbf, I always thought the execution was where his biggest faults were. So, I am looking forward to the storylines being told even better. 

And hopefully, less focus around Alex and Leo 😂😂
